Rodeo Meets Retail: Massive Mercantile Trade Show Hits Wyo Sport Ranch During CNFR
The College National Finals Rodeo will be in Casper June 15-21. The top cowboys and cowgirls from around the country will be here, competing to add their names to a long list of champions crowned at the Ford Wyoming Center.
During the week, many events are happening around Casper, including the first-ever Mercantile trade show at the Wyo Sports Ranch. The over 130,000 square feet of space will be the perfect spot to add to the CNFR environment.
There will be vendors, fun activities, daily giveaways, and contests, and the best part is that admission is FREE.

The vendor list includes:
- Western Companies
- Outdoor Companies
- Craftsmen
- Artists
- Businesses
- Services
You can check out the Mercantile, and Wyo Sports Ranch is hosting other events throughout the week.
- Cowboy Camp for Kids
- Swing/ Line Dancing Lessons from Country Kickup Casper, sponsored by the Jae Foundation
- Cornhole Tournament hosted by the Boomtown Baggers Cornhole Club
- Sonny's RV Wild West Party Zone
- Mechanical Bull Riding Competition, where local businesses compete to win the title of the Mercantile Business of 2025 and receive free advertising at the Wyo Sports Ranch.
CNFR week always brings an energy that's not easy to match. The Ford Wyoming Center's competition brings big energy, and the addition of the Mercantile at the Wyo Sports Ranch will increase that energy even further.
Excitement is in the air, and as CNFR gets closer, the excitement is building. Visit the Wyo Sports Ranch website to learn how to participate as a vendor or to see all of the activities.
